First the worst, second the best. Part I

Hi readers, Sam here talking about a good but of fun me and Damien are having with each others armies.

The other week Damien challenged me to write the worst list that I could using one of my armies (chaos marines being the obvious choice here) whilst he does the same thing with one of his (orks). Then we both swap armies and see what happens. I thought this was a great idea and the following game developed. Now this is part one of the game analysis and mini batreps with us doing the complete oposite in a few weeks. Writing the best lists with the same armies and swapping again. I hope you enjoy reading this post and if you would like to see more like this then please let us know.

Sam's chaos space marine list

Now I wanted to sink as many points into the army as I could. Therefore every unit has mark of slaanesh and veterans of the long war.

Abbadon the despoiler

Chaos lord

Slaanesh

Black mace

Murder sword

Sigil of corruption

Aura of dark glory

Spell familiar

Combat familiar

Terminator armour

Melta bombs

Veterans

(Hehehe turn three he booned into a spawn :D)

Elites

Helbrute with two fists and combi bolters

Troops

Same is repeated 3 times bere

10 chosen, 4 combi bolters, slaanesh, melta bombs, rhino with every upgrade possible. So

Havoc

Combi plasma

Bolter

Destroyer blades

Warpflame

Ect

That was 2000 points

Damiens army

Deployment and pre game stuff

As always chaos boons fairly shit

Dae went first

No seize the initiative.

Turn one

Chaos units pop some shots and orks advance

Nothing of note really happens.

Turn two

A frenzied helbrute makes shortwork of a truck

The rest of the orks advance

Left flank looks busy

Turn three

Lascannon pops a truck, havoc launcher begins to mow through men

This was turn three really

Helbrute ready to smash the morkanought

Battlewagons ram the helbrute, combi rockets helped

Chaos lord killed a whole unit them turned into spawn

Morkanought lived, barely

Abbadon walked through the nobs, the marines walked through the boys and the helbrute wrecked the other squad of boys.

End of turn three dae was 8-7 maelstrom points up and I only had gretchen left. At this point I conceeded the game.

Damiens Comment 'Sam should not have given me lascannons...'

Was an absolute blast and I look forward to part two.

Jericho Reach: First Encounters

The galaxy was surrounded by the Hive Fleet however those whom arrived by space travel found that the Fleet parted to allow slender corridors for travel into the Jericho galaxy. However the Tyranids did not so much as stir or attack the space craft. Each army sent their favoured heroes and their chosen acolytes. On the mining planet of Rheelas the Howling Griffons led by Chaplain Titus within his great Dreadnought armour were the first to engage in battle with the Necrons led by Overlord Naile. However both commanders understood it would do no good to exterminate each other. They both strategically retreated to fight another day. If Khorne was watching he would be greatly angered by the lack of bloodshed. Overlord Naile was able to claim the relic weapon known as Void Reaper and within the mining facility found a Tomb World filled by his Laharl Dynasty brothers. The Howling Griffons were then ambushed by the Thousand Sons led by the Daemon Prince known in Low Gothi...

Worcester Wargames 40K Doubles .

It's that time of year again! The Six Up Save lads are painting last mintue details and packing our carry cases in preparation for another one of Worcester Wargames awesome local Tournaments . This years contest comes with a twist; the doubles teams will be paired up at random! From what we are given to understand Andy (the TO) is pairing people up with respective armies (Imperium with Imperium, Orks with Orks etc) but we wont know exactly who our teammates are until the morning of the Tourney. The day will consist of 3 games, one person on each team will be playing Maelstrom objectives and his teammate will be playing for standard objectives on the same board, so it will be an interesting mix up of normal game rules. I'm taking my Redeemer's, but due to lack of time / laziness I'm just taking the exact same list as my Six Up Save League. It's hardley optimised for competitive gameplay, but its fun, fluffy and means I don't have to stress about painting any...

Tarsis 4, hosted by Geno52 and Incom Gaming

Today Sam went to Cheltenham to join in with 19 other people on a narrative 30k campaign day. This post will review the day, show off some of the armies that attended and detail how each game went for The Iron Warriors. First of all I wish to say what a fantastic day that I had. I drove down with Ben Fletcher who was using his warp cult and allied knights and was prepared for a few games of heresy. What I got was three amazing games with friendly and fun opponents. To top this off there was a fluffy element to the whole event running throughout. With people bringing lists which showed off their legions strengths and not following the standard net list builds that you sometimes see in a 40k event. The event was well thought out and well ran by Tom and Stu. Loyalists vs traitors and a winning team, not individual. Which brought about a sense of comradery. Here is the list that I took. I made a 2000 and 2500 point list and used the latter twice and the former once. Game one Fo...
